Mr.. Charler IIouser yesterday made
complaint before Mayor Blake against
Mr.. Henry .Burch, for an unprovoked
assault and battery, which occurred in
Mr.. Jonas Warstler's store, in Marlboro

Burch had an old grudge against Hous-
er, and without any threats or even the
least warning, walked up to IIouser
and struck him above the eyes with .
bag filled with shot, thereby bruising his
face and colOring his eye. The force
of the blow was so hard as to burst the
bag and scatter the shot. Burch was
arrested yesterday and brought to Can
ton by Marshal Stacy, Of Alliance, and
Constable Joseph Walton, of Marlboro,
and lodged in the county jail. Soon af-
ter being imprisoned in the jail, he be-
gan to show symptoms of insanity. He
left the water from the hydrant run in
to his shoes and commenced to tear up
his clothing He was afterwards re-
moved from the Jail to the Infirmary by
